by TripadvisorBeutiful Experience with Best Price Travel & Hang Moon! 1034140638 12-Day Vietnam Tour – Beutiful Experience with Best Price Travel & Hang Moon! My wife and I recently completed a 12-day tour of Vietnam, travelling from North to South, and it was an unforgettable experience. Thanks to Best Price Travel and the amazing Hang Moon. throughout the trip, Moon was with us every step of the way. Her communication was outstanding, staying in touch via WhatsApp and ensuring every part of our trip ran smoothly. The itinerary was well organised and balanced, covering all the highlights of Vietnam. Every detail, from airport transfers to hotel check-ins, tours, and internal transport was perfectly timed and stress free. The 4-star hotels we stayed in were fantastic, all including buffet breakfasts that exceeded our expectations. Lunches (when included) were set menus at reputable restaurants, giving us a real taste of Vietnamese cuisine. Our tour guides were knowledgeable, polite, and gave us plenty of time to explore and enjoy at our own pace. When our overnight Halong Bay cruise was unfortunately cut short due to bad weather, Best Price Travel quickly organised a private car to return us to our hotel without any delays. A refund was processed for the activities we missed was organised by our agent Moon. This was a hassle free experience, run by honest, professional people who really care about their clients. For our next holiday, we won’t look anywhere else, we’ll be booking again with Best Price Travel. Thank you, Vietnam, Best Price Travel, and especially the lovely Moon

by TrustpilotA great booking experience.
I got in touch with Best Price in early May 2025 to book a Mekong Cruise from 2 - 9 October 2025. From the start Janet was very helpful and understanding. She made the booking process easy and kept in touch regularly, even after my party had boarded the cruise and again after it was over to ensure everything went well. This is true customer service. I would recommend this company to everyone. Thank you again Janet!

6 Days Tour of Vietnam![icon circle]()
by Tripadvisor
by TripadvisorWe recently booked a 6-day Vietnam trip through BestPrice Travel, covering Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi and back. Initially, we were skeptical—six nights with airport transfers, domestic airfare, and hotel accommodations for under $600 seemed too good to be true. We honestly expected low-quality hotels and mediocre service. To our surprise, it turned out to be one of the best trips we've ever taken. The hotels were comfortable, and the tours exceeded our expectations. Everything was well-organized and seamless. Special thanks to Cindy Pham from BestPrice Travel, who was incredibly patient and helpful in coordinating every detail of our itinerary. From the moment we were picked up at the airport to the end of our journey, everything went smoothly. We highly recommend BestPrice Travel to anyone planning a trip to Vietnam. Their service and value are outstanding.

@Ellie:
There are many option for homestay in Ninh Binh that offer cheap price and good services. Since you need to do private tour for this route (no-customer for join) so price will a bit high, if you do classic one like Hoa lu - Tam Coc, Trang An - Bai Dinh we can put you on a group for cheaper.

The tour was flexible—you could choose from activities like a peaceful boat ride, hiking, cycling, and more. Everything was well-organized, including catering, and the guides were not only friendly but also shared fascinating insights along the way. Door-to-door pickup and drop-off made the whole day stress-free. Highly recommended!
Our second experience was an overnight cruise in Halong Bay, which was just as memorable. BestPrice Travel offers a range of cruise options depending on your budget—you can choose your boat, room type, and duration. The itinerary was packed with great activities like kayaking, swimming, hiking to scenic viewpoints, cooking classes, and even morning tai chi. The food onboard was a standout, freshly prepared and beautifully presented, with special attention given to dietary preferences or allergies.
We traveled as a couple and found both tours to be smooth, professional, and thoroughly enjoyable. A big thank-you to our travel consultant, Hang Moon, who was warm, helpful, and incredibly responsive throughout the booking and trip. We highly recommend BestPrice Travel for a seamless and well-curated Vietnam experience! Less

She truly thought of everything—even the weather was on our side! Her hotel and cruise recommendations were spot-on: the Apricot Hotel in Hanoi was ideally located, Emeralda Resort in Ninh Binh exceeded our expectations, and the 2-night Prince Cruise was a perfect way to experience the bay in comfort and privacy.
The food throughout the trip was delicious, and the service was consistently excellent. Janet did a fantastic job from start to finish—we couldn’t have asked for more. Less
